The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook.. The Blue Jays have been starting to heat up lately as they are winning more games and putting together some win streaks. Their pitching hasn't been great in these games but their strong offense is back and scoring lots of runs. They have one of the best offenses in the MLB this season and they will be looking to stay hot here as the Rangers are pretty much out of the playoffs but the Blue Jays are in the hunt for a Wild Card spot. The Rangers actually have less wins at home this season as they have played worse there and they have not been scoring many runs in their games recently. The Blue Jays offense is going to overpower them with runs, especially the way Perez has been pitching lately. He has been giving up a lot of runs while Berrios has been much better for the Jays and hasn't allowed many runs in his recent starts. He will pitch another good game against this offense that has been cold lately, and the Jays will put up the runs they need to win here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.

"Things that are a little underrated are Jackie's defense, and Tapia stealing a base there with two strikes to get in scoring position. So little things like that really helped us tonight." - John Scneider after his team’s win against the Rangers on Friday.

 

 

"I don't even think I was conscious running around the bases. Just put a good swing on it. Looking in my lane, and if a pitch showed up there, I was swinging. But I didn't want to be too timid." - Josh Jung on his HR in his team’s loss against the Blue Jays on Friday.
